I'm trying to build my own Android Automotive OS on Raspberry Pi. I've been stuck on Google Automotive (Play?) Services. When opening an emulator downloaded for Android Studio, everything is there - Google Maps as a navigation app, Google Account integration, etc. However, when building (an emulator or an image for my board) from sources, there is nothing. I'm looking for a way to add Google services to my image, to build from scratch on OS similar to one offered by Polestar/Volvo/GM.
AAOS (Android Automotive OS) is open source code w/out Google specific services in it.
PTAL https://developers.google.com/cars for more detail for GAS.
Car makers can also contract with Google to provide services such as
Maps and the Google Assistant in their cars via Google Automotive
Services (GAS).

I currently own a CX330, which has WIFI control through a Sony app. I would like to build the remote control features into another app I'm building as well as being able to download video from the device. Are either of these options possible and, if so, where in the documentation do I go to find examples or instructions? Currently I only see these functions available for a limited set of devices, but if the proprietary software can provide remote control I'm assuming Sony has not built a separate API just for the camcorders and a different one for other devices.
Also, I believe the proprietary software allows you to download new videos directly from the camera, is an api available for this as well?
We do have an API for working with cameras, but unfortunately your camera is not supported. You can find the full list of supported cameras here:
https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/
The API does allow you to download photos and videos.
I have the RX100-M3 camera, and it seems that some applications can be developed for it.
As far as I understand, the CameraRemoteAPI SDK can be used to develop Android or iOS applications. So is there a way to develop applications for the Sony camera?
I would like to develop a feature to be able to:
set the timer (from 2s to 2min)
select the number of shots (from 1 to 2000)
select the time between shots.
There is an existing "intervalometer" application but it is very expensive.
Camera Remote API SDK allows one to remotely control the supported Sony cameras including RX100M3 from any other device, by sending HTTP commands to the camera. The application you create can run from any
platform Android, iOS , Windows, PC, etc. You will have to connect this device to the camera over WiFi.
To get more information, please download the SDK, which contains sample applications and API documentation.

In Android development I know there is offline speech recognition available from Google Now for third-party apps. I was wondering does an offline language pack/API exist for desktop applications or does such a thing exist for Android only? And yes I am aware of CMU Sphinx, Julius, the Google speech recognition API (which only has 50 uses per day) and other programs, I was just wondering. Thanks!
I am working on a Windows 8 "phone" which for the following reasons is unable to use maps
Bing maps: Microsoft itself announced to not to support Bing maps APIs any further instead they'll be using Nokia APIs.
Nokia APIs: facing licensing issues.
In-built Map control: Network connectivity issues. the emulator is unable to connect to the network
Google APIs: It is only option left. But this again poses similar issues as I am naïve to its usage
Please suggest as to how can I use the Map functionality in my app without connecting to the network
Bing maps are still supported they are just no longer the default. They are not as comprehensive as the Nokia datasets and have issues with being used in some parts of the world (China).
There are no licensing issues with using the embedded Nokia maps control in a Windows Phone 8 app. Why do you think there are licensing issues?
The built in Nokia maps control does support downloading maps for use offline. It's one of it's big selling points.
Google map tiles can bee used with the old/Bing maps control but does not provide automatic support for offline usage and it is a LOT of work to implement yourself.
I am developing an application with Flash Lite designed to run on Nokia S60 5th edition phones using the Flash Lite API Bridge Interface. The application uses the API Bridge to access the phones camera and upload functionality to take a photo, display it to the user then upload it to a server. I am using Flash CS4 Professional and Device Central to develop and test the interface.
Are there any emulators that will run my flash lite app and simulate the camera? What are my options short of getting a phone and installing my app every time I want to test something new?
